German tuner MTM has launched an upgrade program for the 2012 Audi S6 which brings a power increase and other improvements.
MTM is no stranger when it comes to aftermarket kits for Audi models
as in the last few years they've come up with upgrade packages for the
previous RS6, A1 and S5,
just to name a few. Their latest project is based on the most recent S6
fitted with the 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 TFSI engine which as standard
produces 420 HP (309 kW) and 550 Nm (405 lb-ft).
By ECU remapping and making several engine modifications, the power
unit is now capable of developing 555 HP (408 kW) and 700 Nm (516
lb-ft), enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time in 4.2 seconds (0.6s
faster) and a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h), unlike the stock car
which is electronically-limited to 155 mph (250 km/h).
Other parts available include MTM Bimoto nine-spoke alloys, custom
suspension and a new brake kit with Brembo components. The power boost
costs 3,791 EUR, while the suspension kit will set you back an
additional 1,737 EUR.
